WATERBURY — Police in multiple communities, including Waterbury, have charged a Hartford man with taking part in a spree of seven late-night hotel robberies around the state.

Jashon Saunders, 22, was charged with first-degree robbery and larceny after police tied him to the hold up of the Hampton Inn on Chase Parkway on Sept. 12.
